TESTIMONIALS

When I was on Worker’s Comp with a back injury, I saw chiropractors, physical therapists, and neurologists. There was only one person who showed me how to function with my back. That person was Jean Elvin.

I loved this lesson. My movement felt very graceful and afterwards it felt very graceful and when I was walking it felt effortless. Before the lesson, I was very tense and my leg and spine were hurting quite badly.

The edges are gone. I feel more like a slinky when I walk.

I feel like this class has made me experience parts of my body that hadn’t had much attention in a long time. I feel more aware of how I hold my body while sitting in a chair, while driving my car, or standing. I used to slouch more!

I am a very physical person and this method has helped me in being more in my body as I dance, run, and do my job as a massage therapist.

I have arthritis in my ankles. After the lesson, the pain disappeared so that I walked for about an hour without any pain. This lesson also helped me with my lower back pain.

(Instead of waking up every night and lying awake), I do my exercises every day and I’m sleeping like a lamb! Thank you!

Thank you for the recommendations. Your suggestions and the changes we’ve implemented since have been a great help to me!

I felt much more flexible and my sciatica pain was much lessened after the lesson. Walking around and up the hill , it did not hurt. I felt much looser, like my joints had been ‘oiled.’

Thank you for a wonderful semester of Feldenkrais! I learned a lot about how to dance more deeply and to just trust my body to move more effortlessly.

Jean always makes me feel so much better in my body, so much more comfortable!

My back is so much better. Jean worked miracles as usual. Just knowing how to stand and walk properly was a tremendous help. I have no pain at all now.

Functional Integration is a sophisticated art form requiring a high degree of sensory acuity and unusual ability to … It is both incredibly creative and highly precise.

I am so grateful for Feldenkrais with Jean and how it has made it possible to move about freely again after back and hip injuries.

Since Jean’s Feldenkrais sessions, I no longer wake up with neck pain. After having had it for more than ten years.

Jean is knowledgeable, caring, and effective. When I came to her I had severe constrictions in my movement and my stability. These were the result of osteoarthritis in my hips and they persisted after my hip replacements. Because of my work with her, I now have the flexibility and stability I had before the arthritis. I am so grateful to her for giving me back my life. I have also started walking my large dog again, with confidence that I have the stability to manage well.
